Acts 9:3-18

3 aNow as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. 4And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting bme?” 5And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, cwhom you are persecuting. 6But drise and enter the city, and you will be told ewhat you are to do.” 7 fThe men who were traveling with him stood speechless, ghearing the voice but seeing no one. 8Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, hhe saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

And ylaying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and zbe filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and aahe regained his sight. Then abhe rose and was baptized;
